I'm not American and I cannot vote for an American President. If you're American and have not yet voted, please do so as soon as possible. If you have voted, thank you for your service 🫡
There's a good chance it will be called tonight. It's the official tallies they're preparing people to wait for since that's the "delay" Trump tried to abuse in 2020.
As you watch the results remember the "red mirage" - a well known phenomenon where Republican candidates take an early lead because Republican votes get reported early. This is simply because Republicans tend to live in smaller towns and low-population areas, which finish their vote counting sooner because there are fewer ballots. Democrats tend to live in denser urban areas that take longer to count, so their votes show up later; this is known as the "blue shift".
You can see the red mirage happening right now... 45 minutes ago Trump had 23 electoral votes and Harris 7. Now it's Trump 95 Harris 35. This should even out as the counts from the cities start to roll in.
Trump is planning to declare victory early in the night before the blue shift occurs, so his followers can turn off the TV and go to bed happy. Then when the final count shows Harris on top they will "know" the election was stolen because in their minds they "saw" him win.
I am just waiting it out and getting the news when it gets posted(im european tho this election sadly effects me and a lot of other people who are outside the us)
